INTRODUCTION The KODAK Display Manager System lets you display a scanned negative image as it will appear projected via a motion picture film projector or a video image as it will appear on a broadcast monitor. The KODAK Display Manager System interfaces with a number of displays including computer monitors, HD/SD displays, and digital projectors. When creating a print film look, the system emulates the photochemical process of motion picture print film. The results are placed in a 3D LUT (

Introduction How it Works To accurately generate a 3D LUT, you must work from a calibrated and characterized display. A sensor, which you position on your display, measures the luminance and chromaticities of a series of color patches. You can also use the sensor to verify the calibration and characterization. NOTE To characterize a projector you must use a spectrophotometer or a colorimeter suitable for measuring screen reflectance. Calibration The automatic calibration process gathers inf

Introduction Viewing and Customizing a Look From the Display Manager System Viewer, you can view images and apply a transform, which can be either a .chr file or a 3D LUT. With a properly calibrated and characterized monitor, images will closely match a projected print film image or broadcast image. Verification Perform a verification to measure the quality of the monitor setup and to measure the closeness of the print film match in CIElab colorspace. NOTE Verification is not available for
